Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a skin resurfacing procedure that uses a tool with an abrasive tip to treat the face. It is analogous to a Dremel® tool for your face. Dermabrasion is frequently used for aging associated changes, acne scarring, lip lines and other problems. It is more invasive than the similarly named “microdermabrasion” and produces much more impressive results. Dermabrasion is the mechanical version of resurfacing, providing comparable results to lasers and chemical peels.

Light treatments with Dermabrasion lead to improvements in skin texture with minimal downtime. Deeper treatments are required to improve wrinkles and necessitate a longer recovery. We can help you determine the best skin resurfacing plan to fit your needs through a consultation with one of our board certified plastic surgeons.
